The most regrettable thing about being a soldier - missing out on the opportunity to be promoted to a military academy and a non-commissioned officer.
In the hot September, the rain in Chongqing seems to be out of control, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes as thin as a cow's hair. The weather is like a suffocating envelope over the city. The rain falls on the hot ground, and the whole city is like a steamer, which makes people feel very dull. In such an atmosphere, Lao Liu, a businessman, also felt helpless and frustrated.
He once said: "Becoming a soldier is the most correct decision I have ever made, but missing the military academy and being promoted to ** non-commissioned officer is the stupidest thing in my life." Lao Liu is worried about this, and every time he mentions it, it is a thorn in his heart. He recounted the opportunities he had missed, and his tone was full of regret and helplessness.
At that time, the opportunity was actually quite large. Lao Liu recalled, "There are places in the regiment every year, my cultural achievements are okay, and the military is okay, but I just don't want to make progress, and I stare and understand all day long." Coupled with the poverty of the family and the lack of knowledgeable relatives to guide him, there was no one to support him at the critical moment. As a result, he missed the opportunity to change his fate in vain.
After being transferred to a second-class non-commissioned officer, Lao Liu performed well in the company, was favored by the instructor and the company commander, and became the squad leader. When he first entered the first class, he was young and full of joy. But the promotion to ** non-commissioned officer became a pain for him. Promotion** is a real achievement. Somehow, perhaps because of inappropriate words, Lao Liu chose to retire from the army after the expiration of his term as a second-class non-commissioned officer.
Everyone who has served in the military has more or less his own opportunities, some have been transferred to non-commissioned officers, some have been promoted, some have studied, some have served in organs, and some have received awards and even become leaders of the driver's communicator. These opportunities represent a turning point in your life, and seizing them can be life-changing. However, when these opportunities came, we failed to fully grasp them and let the wheels of fate roll forward. After being discharged from the army, every setback is a reminder again and again, making us understand that we were overwhelmed when we were young, and now we can only regret infinitely.
A netizen left a message: "I also missed the opportunity back then, and I only found out after I was discharged from the army. The opportunity in the army was given to us to be promoted, but unfortunately we were young and ignorant at that time, and we did not cherish it. Netizens have left messages to share their experiences, some lamented that they were young and ignorant, and some hoped that young people could cherish the present and not leave regrets.
In China, the military's training and promotion system is designed to provide opportunities for young soldiers to grow. But many people fail to realize the preciousness of the opportunity when they are young, and this becomes the regret of many after leaving the army. After all, everyone wants to look back without the infinite regret of "if then". Therefore, the importance of education, especially in the training of soldiers, should be disseminated not only within the army, but also throughout society. Let more young people understand that opportunities are not endless, and only by cherishing the present can they get rid of regrets.
